A few weeks back, a friend tagged me in a post by Jamie Bautista in Facebook. Jaime is a common friend in the publishing industry, having written and produced several comic and graphic novels for kids and kids at heart. Back in 2014, we were together in the the MUNPARLAS Bibliocare Conference in Sagada. It was my first time to meet Jaime, but I have heard and read about his works, especially Private Iris.
My kids love Private Iris.
In his Facebook post, Jaime shares the process and the journey of creating Private Iris. He fought for his ideas, especially the character being a girl. His efforts and persistence paid off. Private Iris had a good run of twelve volumes. Now, it's an animated short film. It can be seen and watched on YouTube. Here is episode one from the Private Iris channel.
